Ohio Department of Education Teaching

The documents and aids below provide almost everything educators need to understand and implement Ohio's New Learning Standards in Mathematics. Learn about the global context in which the standards were developed, compare them with Ohio's 2001 mathematics standards and see how they are successfully implemented in the classroom.

• Frequently Asked Questions (PDF) – Revised 2/28/11

Implementation Tools
The following documents are for districts and teachers to use as tools for better understanding of the Ohio's New Learning Standards in Mathematics. Click on the links below to open the documents.

• Alignment Toolkit Phase 2:  Revision of District Curriculum (NEW)
  These tools create a framework from the standards and model curriculum for planning units around big ideas/concepts, sequencing units to the school year, intradisciplinary and interdisciplinary connections, diverse learner considerations, technology integration, assessment practices (formative, summative and performance-based) and resources.
• Instructions for using the Alignment Toolkit Phase Two: Revision of District Curriculum
